My Copies of Sweet Tooth Have Arrived and Stella's Bogarting All of Them

Guys, I got my copies of my new book Sweet Tooth, which chronicles my adolescence as a poor gay boy who loves sweets, and my cat Stella has already staked her claim on all of them. Jimmy said she's spent all day stacking them in different formulations. The one below is particularly poignant, as it really gets to the heart of the experience of a diabetic who loves Nutella and sometimes has low-blood-sugar episodes.

That there is a vat of God's own chocolate hazelnut spread, plus some chalky glucose tablets in case your blood sugar is low and you have absolutely nothing else around to combat it, plus a glucagon injection kit, which is as delightful as it sounds--if a poor diabetic has passed out or is unresponsive to whatever sugar you're shoving in his face, you may need to take out the glucagon and jab him with it, for freedom (and so he doesn't slip into a coma).

After doing her art project, Stella whipped out a copy and turned directly to the part about her, because she's narcissistic, like most cats.

See Tim Blog has been linked to on Gothamist, Huffington Post, and, yes, the Raleigh News and Observer. Also! It has been featured in the New York Times City Room Blogtalk page. On top of that, it's listed on the City Room blog roll. Additionally and moreover, the mighty DC gossip blog Wonkette has given STB some of their dirty love twice. That's right, twice. They featured and linked to a story that originated here back in August 2009. (It was an important investigative story about dumb people.) More recently, Wonkette recognized SeeTimBlog's meme-starting capabilities here. Does all this mean nothing to you?
